yeah actually i'm working on that kind of idea right now. i'm going to split up some of the bigger sprites like i did eith the armour on the front of the ship and also add more sections underneath to simulate damage etc. i'm not sure how it would look exactly, but it's always worth a try.

about the stock sprites that actually a half decent idea, and a may do it seeing as it'll make building easier as you can use the mirror function, so i'll work on it

btw, the stock conversions are going to look something like this:

I sincerely hope that the conversion goes well. From the looks of things, these will be a lot of fun to try out.

The ship you posted is in keeping with your past work, very good, though I attribute that largely to the sprites. Keep it up.

wow, almost three months since my last update =/ anyway, i've had a cruiser in the works for quite some time that i've never got around to finishing, so i might as well post it now...

it still needs a couple of sprites to be made (mainly the scoops for the pontoons) and some editing to improve the shading at the front

i've also been playing around with kaelis' shiny new sections, and it seems that missile reloading systems are in fashion right now, so i've put together a little gunship with a reloading missile rack on the side. enjoy =D

That hammer head thing is pretty neat. Glad you posted again, because i would never have seen the other ones you made. They look like something out of a space opera. The gun placements, the shape and the glows of those things is very classical. ( like ships from Banners of the stars, Tytania and perhaps some ships from infinite space)

thanks for the comments guys, i haven't been doing much shipbuilding for a while but i'm still keeping in touch. my next project is really to get a lot of the backstory writte down for this in a convenient format, and there's plenty of it too... if anyone knows the Marathon universe then this is based on an idea on an idea on an idea of that, if that makes any sense ^^;

Curious, how goes the stock sprite conversion?
<_< stares at the screen as vidboi's ships trash the other ships >_>

Amazing. . . . .

Not even death can stop the truly determined.

My goal is to build the most epic thing possible, PERIOD.

I told them, "I want to add to the world."
They said, "Then learn how to use the editor."
I asked, "What is the editor?"
They said, "Life."
